If they only had Sonic HB's with a turbo I would be in a Cruze right now.

one word.... "WOW" lol

 

[rdss]

The Magnaflow 12636 is here and should get installed tomorrow.

Dang, I'm gonna need to get mine soon. DP is going in on Wednesday.

 

[rdss]

I'm looking forward to getting this one in. It will lift up the tailpipe getting hidden more than it is now, it's kind of just hanging out in the open, okay for 5" tips, not so much for a dumped style tailpipe.

The muffler is in, I'm going to have to stop by a muffler shop and have a new mount made, the SLP is a little to short so it is binding the rubber mount up. I finally have the tailpipe up high and out of sight and I think I'm done with the back of the system. After some miles I will decide if I'm going to swap out the resonator for a Magnaflow equivalent which will be in March, it's about to be stored for 3 months. Here's a pic, I will get more up later as well as the idle/rev video.

No Tmo, you know from experience that they like to hang out with their wang out......

Sooo much better. Less stressful for sure.

It looks and sounds good BTW.

Thanks Tmo....





Enjoy guys!

And Eric, don't hate! One day you'll realize that sedans are so much more functional than midget station wagons.

Derp, I agree. The pipe showing is good in some situations but not on the car.

 

[rdss]

Here are some pics of the new hanger and how it's going sit from now on.

 

[$ub$onic]

Now that looks nice. Its all tucked in

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Is that just a shadow in the second pic or was the bottom of the bumper trimmed a bit for a previous tip?
